Funny interview where Freddy gets a bit antsy and lies when questioned about about testing methods:
"DT - Fred, can you understand that there are boxing fans out there that believe that if Mayweather Jr. is willing to take random blood test for Performance Enhancing Drugs, then why not Manny?
FR - I understand but it's all bullshit and here's why, HGH cannot be detected by blood, salvia, or Urine. Now salvia and urine are more complete test than blood for HGH and steroids. I talked to the head guy of the NFL about steroids and he said there is no reason for a blood test like they do with Olympic athletes, unless you are saving it and comparing it one year to another. This is a one fight deal, there is no sense in it. If you really want to get into the technical end of it, and I'm not qualified to do it, but the doctor's I've talked to are and they have said that HGH and any growth hormone cannot be detected by any test.
DT - Fred, I have a graduate's degree in Biochemistry and 30 years experience in developing blood chemistry tests.......I'll leave it alone, let's move forward.
FR - No wait, you can't tell me that there is a test that can detect HGH or growth hormones.
DT - Fred, I'm not here to make you mad.
FR - I'm not mad, I'm telling you that you are wrong if you think there is a test for HGH.
DT - Ok Fred, so you are saying that HGH cannot be detected by a blood test?
FR - Absolutely, 100%, NO! Saliva, blood, or urine.
DT - Freddie, please let's move on. Do you believe that this controversy is a result of the spectacular victory over Miguel Cotto where Manny looked super human?
FR - Mayweather is just scared."
